About Me

I admit, I didn't start playing the guitar when I was 5. I hated going to the flute-lessons (as many of us did) when I was about 7. I feared the cello-lessons my parents forced me to go to when I was 10. And I deeply regret not going to the drum-lessons more than one time...But one day, when I was about 10, my big brother's friend came to me and asked me what music I liked. I didn't know. So the next day she lent me all of her cd's, all of them in a big plastic bag. Everything from simple pop to hard rock was in there. (Grunge was the big thing...) This made me discover the beauty in tunes and lyrics. I'm also very thankful for having a former Bossanova-player as a mother and a Jazz-lover as a father..This was the story about how I fell in love with music. Hope you'e enjoying my songs!!Most sincerely, Alexandra
